Leng Yue doesn't need to go back to the company for now; Guo Chao wants her to take this opportunity to experience high school life. Perhaps, after this mission, there won't be another chance like this.
Leng Yue rolled her eyes at the time, because of all the people there, she had attended high school the most times.
Li Huanhuan's father, Li Bing, has had his identity exposed, and the organization has hidden him away. In order not to affect the lives of Li Bing's family, Leng Yue and others were put in charge of protecting him secretly.
Leng Yue was very low-key at school, neither particularly good nor bad, and had little presence. She only had one friend, Li Huanhuan. Li Huanhuan always liked to ask Leng Yue questions, whether academic or romantic. Therefore, they were now inseparable.
It was the weekend, and Leng Yue and Li Huanhuan had arranged to go shopping together. They originally agreed to meet at 10:00 AM, but Li Huanhuan didn't arrive until 10:30 AM.
Li Huanhuan entered the dessert shop where she had arranged to meet Leng Yue. After seeing Leng Yue, she walked over to the opposite side of Leng Yue. Before sitting down, she looked back again.
Seeing Li Huanhuan looking back at something, Leng Yue also glanced over. "What's wrong?"
Li Huanhuan shook her head, "It's nothing." But despite saying it was nothing, her round face showed lingering fear. Leng Yue didn't press further, but gently pushed the milk tea she had ordered beforehand in front of her. "The vanilla milk tea at this shop is very good, I think it's nice, so I ordered one for you."
Li Huanhuan hugged the milk tea tightly, her fingers trembling uncontrollably. Leng Yue didn't know what had happened to her, but she hadn't received any messages from other colleagues, so it probably wasn't related to revenge.
Only after Li Huanhuan finished her entire cup of milk tea did she look at Leng Yue and whisper, "I might be being watched..."
Leng Yue was startled, wondering if criminals had become this skilled. But she cooperated by saying, "Are they thugs? Should we call the police?"
Li Huanhuan shook her head, "I don't know if I'm a hooligan, but I didn't even see the person."
“Then you…” Leng Yue hesitated, wondering if Li Huanhuan had discovered something.
"It's a feeling. Actually, when school started, I always felt like someone was watching me. At school, because there were so many people, this feeling disappeared. But this time when I went home, I felt it again. On the way here, I felt like there were weird people everywhere. What should I do? Do I have paranoia?" Li Huanhuan said, covering her face with her hands, looking very distressed.
Leng Yue paused, then suddenly realized that Li Huanhuan might be referring to her colleagues who were protecting her. "Did they have any malicious intent?"
Li Huanhuan shook her head, "Probably not."
“Then you don’t have paranoia, you’re probably just not well-rested.” Leng Yue comforted Li Huanhuan, becoming more and more certain of her guess.
"Could it be like this?" Li Huanhuan looked at Leng Yue, her face full of uncertainty.
"Haha, well... since we've finished our milk tea, let's go shopping." Leng Yue laughed and led Li Huanhuan away from the milk tea shop.
Upon seeing clothes and shoes she liked, Li Huanhuan quickly put her 'persecution complex' to the back of her mind. The two happily shopped from morning until five o'clock in the afternoon, only eating a little bit of hamburgers and fries, and didn't feel hungry at all.
In the end, Leng Yue felt that the two of them had been shopping for a while and it would be late to go home, which would worry Li Huanhuan's family. So the two of them stopped shopping.
"I'm starving, Yueyue, do you want something to eat?" Carrying large and small bags, Li Huanhuan suddenly leaned against Leng Yue Shen and called out softly, indicating that she was too hungry to walk.
Leng Yue's face darkened. "My dear young lady, who was it that was so full of energy just now, wanting to strut forward with such high spirits?"
"I can't help it. Before, the thought of pretty clothes and shoes was calling to me, and I had inexhaustible energy. But now it's not like that. As soon as you told me not to go shopping, my battery indicator showed that it was all fake battery before." Li Huanhuan talked nonsense with a straight face, and the key was that it actually sounded quite convincing.
Leng Yue took all of Li Huanhuan's belongings with one hand and dragged her forward with the other. However, because Li Huanhuan was uncooperative, they were practically moving at a snail's pace.
Leng Yue glanced at Li Huanhuan, feeling utterly helpless. If she could keep her distance, she would have loved to carry Li Huanhuan away.
"Hey Miss, can we cooperate a bit? If you keep walking like this, we'll be walking forever!" Leng Yue grabbed Li Huanhuan's shoulders and helped her straighten up.
After Leng Yue helped Li Huanhuan stand up straight, she looked at her with a wronged expression, "Yueyue, don't you love me anymore? How can you be so heartless?"
Seeing the passersby staring at her, Leng Yue had no choice but to stop and extend an arm to Li Huanhuan. Then, with a helpless expression, she asked, "Miss, would you like to eat or continue shopping?"
Li Huanhuan's energy was restored in a second, and she immediately stepped forward and hooked her arm around Leng Yue's. She strode forward with a proud and confident air, declaring, "Let's eat first, then go shopping."
Seeing that Leng Yue didn't speak, Li Huanhuan said with a grin, "Yueyue, I forgot to tell you, I've decided to shop until the mall closes. Hahaha..."
Leng Yue looked at Li Huanhuan, "I'll give you a look, you'll understand..."
"Haha, I'm not afraid at all! I know you're the best, Yueyue!" Li Huanhuan laughed and joked, looking carefree, quite different from her previous sensitive self.
Leng Yue shook her head. "I really owe you one. Let's go. What do you want to eat?"
"I love you, Yueyue," Li Huanhuan said, seemingly having a change of heart, and took the things back from Leng Yue's hands.
Leng Yue glanced at Li Huanhuan, her face full of confusion, "If you love me, then love me. Why are you blushing?"
"It's...my first time confessing to someone!" Li Huanhuan blushed.
"Miss, please look carefully. I am female, and I like men! What's there to be shy about?" Leng Yue wanted to turn around and leave. This girl was always so awkward. Couldn't she maintain a pure friendship between women?
"I know, what are you thinking? I... I like boys too..." Li Huanhuan stomped her foot, looking embarrassed and indignant.
Leng Yue nodded. "Very good."
Sure enough, the two stayed until the mall closed before Li Huanhuan reluctantly prepared to leave.
On her way back, Leng Yue received a notification that suspicious individuals had appeared on Li Huanhuan's way home, and colleagues had already dealt with them. Due to a shortage of manpower, the organization required Leng Yue to safely escort Li Huanhuan home.
After receiving the task, Leng Yue remained calm and unhurried. However, she began telling Li Huanhuan a ghost story, "Have you ever heard the story of 'A Pair of Red Dancing Shoes'?"
"No, what's the story?" Li Huanhuan asked in a particularly innocent and adorable way.
"A horror story, how about it, dare to listen?" Leng Yue looked at her with ill intent and smiled.
"I...I want to hear it..." Li Huanhuan was a little uncertain.
"It was a pitch-black night, and a girl was walking down a quiet street. The street was deserted, and the girl was terrified. But then she heard 'tap-tap' footsteps, and every time she turned around, there was no one there. The girl ran and ran desperately, and suddenly..." Before Leng Yue could finish speaking, Li Huanhuan suddenly shouted.
"Yueyue, you...you stop talking, I'm scared." Li Huanhuan held Leng Yue's arm tightly as they walked to where they were about to part ways.
Li Huanhuan hesitated to let go of Leng Yue's arm, looking at her pitifully, "Can you come home with me?"
